Nitrate leaching and efficiency measurement in intensive farming systems: A parametric by-production technology approach

Michail Tsagris et al.

Summary: This paper develops a novel empirical framework for estimating individual emission levels in a nonpoint source pollution problem. The empirical results indicate a great dispersion of individual nitrate leaching levels, which are associated with low- and high-profit margins. Improvements in nitrate leaching and fertilizer application efficiency can decrease significantly individual leaching levels, providing a more cost-effective way to improve water quality in the area.

Unpacking Total Factor Productivity on Dairy Farms Using Empirical Evidence

Kehinde Oluseyi Olagunju et al.

Summary: This study examines the farm-level factors influencing total factor productivity (TFP) in dairy farms. The results show that herd size, milk yield, stocking density, and share of hired labour have a positive impact on TFP, while labour input per cow, purchased feed input per cow, and share of direct payments in total farm output have a negative impact. Age, education, and investment also affect TFP, with age having a negative impact and education and investment having a positive impact.

Achievements of the European Union member states toward the development of sustainable agriculture: A contribution to the structural efficiency approach

Justas Streimikis et al.

Summary: This study explores ranking decision-making units by measuring efficiency, but efficiency measures may sometimes lack discriminative power, leading to incomplete rankings. In addition, environmental performance is crucial in assessing operational sustainability. The average contribution to structural efficiency index is applied to evaluate the environmental performance of the agricultural sectors of EU Member States, allowing for complete rankings and potential cooperation opportunities.

Measuring green total factor productivity of China's agricultural sector: A three-stage SBM-DEA model with non-point source pollution and CO2 emissions

Yufeng Chen et al.

Summary: The agricultural sector is the basic industry supporting the construction and development of the national economy, and understanding agricultural total factor productivity is crucial for achieving agricultural green development. The study used a three-stage Data Envelopment Analysis method to investigate the actual AGTFP of 30 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2017, revealing that the Northeast region achieved the highest productivity and China's AGTFP is limited by the external environment.

Creation of climate-smart and energy-efficient agriculture in the European Union: Pathways based on the frontier analysis

Justas Streimikis et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the energy efficiency and productivity growth in the agriculture of the European Union. The average annual productivity growth of 0.79% was obtained for the selected countries during 1995-2016, with Lithuania, Denmark, Belgium, and Romania showing the highest productivity gains. The productivity growth related to GHG emission dominated the contributions by the input/output variables in several countries.
